How to Find Happiness When You’re Pulled in Every Direction!

One of the questions I get asked all the time is how do I balance my life? You know, people are right now they have a full-time job. There's a new study out that says more than ever right now people have a side hustle, plus family, fitness, spirituality, all those things, how do you balance them? The first thing I would tell you is that in my estimation, balance is a complete and total fallacy. It's some concept people came up with years ago and personal development, self-improvement that every single person I know that's successful understands is impossible.

Doesn't mean the pursuit of balance isn't important, but the attainment of it is a very elusive and I believe not possible probability for somebody who's an achiever. And the reason for that is at any given time in our lives, one of the areas is spiking, whether that's business or family or finances, fitness, areas spike and surge. There's an ebbs and flow of life that is inevitable, and people who try to seek complete balance become bored. Balance really equals boredom in our life. It means everything's sort of vanilla, everything is sort of average.

But if you're gonna max out in an area, more than likely there's an area not maxing out at that time. Why is that so important? I think so many of us begin to beat ourselves up and feel bad when a particular area of our life is suffering and another one is flourishing. because we've been told we're supposed to have this balance. It's like this thing that you're supposed to have if you're a successful person or in some cases even a good person.
